I'm looking for a specific bit of information which is contained within Talkback vol. 2: The Seventies, and was hoping that someone here might be able to look into it for me instead of having to wait for the book to arrive by very slow post.

The book is said to contain an interview with Christine Rawlins, costume designer of Series 7, and ostensible creator of the Third Doctor's costume.

I'm wondering if the interview reveals details about the influences she had. Specifically, does she mention being swayed in any way by the work done for the character of Adam Adamant? Or does she credit the look mainly to Pertwee's own clothes he wore at an early press call after being cast?

Thanks to anyone who can help

[Quote by: DarthSkeptical] Specifically, does she mention being swayed in any way by the work done for the character of Adam Adamant? Or does she credit the look mainly to Pertwee's own clothes he wore at an early press call after being cast?

Both are mentioned in the interview, the latter being attributed to Pertwee in the interview and the former recalled by Rawlins.
